My Essay on Africa

Africa is in a great turmoil and has been for some time. If you live there, you most likely know the realism that challenges most of the nation. War, genocide, disease, and a multitude of other problems have torn these countries apart and now you are probably wondering where to begin each day. Like many other Africans, you are faced with the dilemas of harsh, desert conditions, or being preached at to save the rainforest.

But how can a single mother of six be expected to save something that might potentially kill her family? First of all, any and all rainforests in Africa are a big waste of space that could be used for many other things like farming or even as land for hospitals and schools to be built. The illusion that the forest is some magical place of wonder is purely sold so that someone will have something to whine about. If the hippies had not of come in and started moaning about the shrub population in the first place, it would have been bulldozed ten years ago, possibly creating jobs in much of the labor industries.

So now we are faced with a ten to twenty year old problem all because of the arrogance of small-minded bigotry. Where to begin, indeed.

Well, first off, we can take a great step for mankind by ridding the world of pointless tree habitats that protect nothing. The animals do not like it? Oh, well. It is not like they are the ones getting taxed for land they cannot use. Second, we start hiring people to start the production of the many necesities, such as schools, homes, hospitals, etc, that would better, not only the people, but the economy as well. Third, no more of this relying on other people to do it for you business. You want something done, you have to do it yourself. The Red Cross has supported your children long enough. You need food? Get a job. You cannot just sit in your huts all day and whine about how unfair life is. You have to get up and make it better.

However, everyone is aware that the destruction of Africa inside and out isn't due just to the moochers reliant on another hand-out. It also comes from the many wars that have spawned out of ignorant religious babble. Look, this is the bottom line: no one cares. I do not care if your Shell God trumps over their Rock God, and neither does the rest of the world. You be your religion and he will be his. Do you really think getting children killed is worth it just to prove that your God is the best? Any God that lets his children be slaughtered like that is not appealing to anyone anyways, so it is more of contradiction that makes you look like a foolish murderer than anything. Nice going.

I now leave it you to stop sitting around and actually face poverty like a man. And your motivation? How about the millions of Americans laughing at Sally Struthers every time they see her on their flatscreen HD TV's?

The End.
